A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Air bag deployed at a low speed impact. Going 20 to 30 MPH, the airbag exploded unevenly mostly on the right side, shoulder hurt for months afterwards
I was driving to my mothers off of 700 e in salt lake city, during traffic. All 3 lanes stopped to let me pass and as I was turning left another car was driving in the bike lane at 45MPH and with out touching their brakes slammed into my car throwing me a few feet. When I got out of the car I noticed my airbags didn't deploy. I remember there being a recall on them and larry h miller did no have the parts they needed so they told me they would not fix the problem.
"takata recall" the airbags did not deploy. Vehicle was rear-ended at 30 MPH and pushed into car in front. The airbags did not deploy. The driver seat broke and twisted and the headrest dislodge and flew out of the seat. Vehicle was stationary in traffic when rear-ended by car moving 30 MPH. This on a city street. The airbags did not deploy. The driver seat did not stay in place. The headrest did not protect the occupants head.
Air bag warning light came on and stayed on, took to dealership got diagnostic and it is the air bag coil spring, needs to be replaced, advised that the air bags most likely will not deploy in a crash. Cost to repair estimated at $500, no longer under warranty. Toyota should repair for free, should not be a part that wears out.
P/s dashboard red light came on with sudden loss of steering assist while turning and driving. Luckily the car is light, but I could have easily hit an object, had it happened in a different location or at a different speed. Problem disappeared by itself. Two weeks thereafter, an extremely strong burned electrical circuitry smell suddenly filled the vicinity of the car, could be felt from about 10 feet away, while idling, while stopped for approximately 30 seconds with front wheels turned to the right about…
